[pybsddb] Helping...

[hasanyasin]

Hi,
Windows Binaries: Windows packages will be built automatically after 
now. I have built the berkeley db 4.8.26 and pybsddb automatic installer 
for 32bit. After building 64bit edition and some tests, I will send you 
the files today or tomorrow. For later releases, my friend Serhat Durum 
will continue building windows installers. He is about to subscribe the 
mailing list to follow new releases.

Mailing List: I will try to respond questions on mailing list if I can.

Finding Bugs: I am currenlty using pybsddb on a production-ready 
environment. I will share any problems I will face.

Help on Improving API: I need to study on the current code to get 
accustomed to the coding style and solutions currently in use. After a 
few weeks I believe I will be able to help you adding more methods and 
classes according to your plans.

Web Site: I see that you want the library to be used by much more 
developers. To achive success on this area we need some enhancements on 
the interface. A "Download" link is needed for example. It is hard to 
find and understand where to download the library from current web page. 
We also need to provide a navigation, ie a menu of links to the 
documentation, release and general information pages, etc... If you 
consider this I will work on a simple and minimalistic page layout for 
the library site.

Thanks,
hasanyasin
